Black Friday
clothing deals

01 What to expect at this price

Clothing deals on Black Friday are best on winter basics, the sweaters, jackets and hoodies everyone needs for the next three months.

We focus on winter basics with fabric and fit notes, because those are the clothing deals people still use in February.

Every pick here has a real discount on Amazon right now, and the list refreshes every six hours until Cyber Monday. We note the catch on each, so you can tell a good deal from a big percentage.

02 What to check before you buy

• Check the price historyCompare with October prices. Inflated list prices are the most common Black Friday trick.
• Check fabric and fitA size chart in inches beats S/M/L labels.
• Do not wait for FridayAmazon's sale runs for about a week and popular items sell out first.
• Sort reviews by most recentA high average built years ago says nothing about the unit shipping today, especially where sellers swap suppliers.

03What to buy in Black Friday clothing sales (and what to skip)

Buy the pieces you will wear every week this winter: a warm sweater, a fleece-lined hoodie, a puffer or sherpa jacket, good leggings. Trend pieces are discounted too, but they are the ones that end up unworn.

Fabric decides how long a sweater lasts. Wool and cotton blends pill less than pure acrylic; fleece-lined hoodies are worth the extra few dollars in a cold climate.

Amazon clothing sizes vary by brand. Read the size chart in inches and search reviews for the word size before ordering.

04How to tell a real Black Friday deal from a fake one

A Black Friday discount is only real if the price is lower than what the item actually sold for in October. Many listings raise the list price in early November so the percentage looks bigger. We filter on Amazon's own saving data and still suggest checking the price history before you buy.

Early deals are often as good as the day itself. Amazon now runs its Black Friday sale for about a week before Thanksgiving, and popular sizes and colours sell out first.

This list updates every six hours from now through Cyber Monday (November 30), so prices on this page move as the sale goes on.

05Before you buy: the boring checks that save money

Confirm who is actually selling. 'Ships from and sold by Amazon' or 'Fulfilled by Amazon' from an established seller gives you Amazon's returns process. A third-party seller shipping directly may have their own terms, and recovering money is slower.

Look for a clippable coupon under the price. It is a checkbox that takes a further amount off at checkout, it stacks with the discount already shown, and it is the single most commonly missed saving on the site.

Sort the reviews by most recent rather than reading the top ones. A four-and-a-half star average built three years ago tells you nothing about the unit shipping today, particularly in categories where sellers change suppliers between production runs.
